Suddenly Droopy Wing

[HeyHo]

Hi! I’ve got a 2-year old Golden Comet that suddenly developed a droop to the primary feathers on her left wing. Eating fine, active, laying, poop normal and she can make it up to her roost at night. No predator issue, no injury upon inspection, all the other girls are fine. I’m taking a “wait and see” approach unless anyone’s got any other suggestions.

Maybe see if there is anything bothering her wing. My hen does that when I have a diaper on her and she wants it off.

I had a Silkie hen like this once. Upon inspection I found she fractured her wrist somehow, but it healed up normally without problems.

Thanks for the replies! I don't see anything bothering her wing, but I do notice that one of the feathers seems bent, so I think she injured herself somehow. But the wing is a little less droopy every day, so I take that as a sign that it is healing. I will continue to leave her be. She is a friendly chicken but does not like to be handled at all and I don't want to stress her out unnecessarily.

I didn't have such problem
